After Liam reading this petty squabble, I bet he has different career plans now. Be assured, there isn't always this childish rivalry (I hope). ATC is only a job - all ATCO's are as important as each other - all a cog in the system, and without one, the rest would be in pieces - there isn't any need to make things personal
.And the "importance" thing - that ranges from Eurocontrol, NATS, hell - even advisory services at small GA airfields - all are essential parts of the ATC system. Every one has the same importance as everybody else so don't feel inferior just because you didn't make the grade for such and such a position.
As I said - it's only a job

Why is it that all of you assume I'm a failed Ab-initio or that I didn't even make it that far? No "controller" worth his "euro" at Maastricht would dare criticise what we (don't) do...!
I've experienced much more complex ATC, and hey, not all enviroments are as exciting as say a busy APP sector, it's just that most of you guys believe that you're God's gift to Aviation and that's something I've never experienced before...cool it with the ego's is what I say.
